Abstract: A join request from a patient computing system identifies a patient, who is assigned to a waiting pool exposing each patient therein to a provider admitting computing system. An admission selection of the patient is received from the provider admitting computing system, and an audiovisual admissions teleconference between the patient computing system and the provider admitting computing system is initiated. A practitioner selection assignment from the provider admitting computing system assigns the patient to a provider practitioner, and in response, the patient is assigned to a provider practitioner pool associated with a provider practitioner computing system. The provider practitioner pool exposes each patient therein to the provider practitioner computing system. The audiovisual admissions teleconference is terminated.
